Please Pray. . .

One of the things that my parents did while they were here in the States for my senior year of high school was befriend three families from Kazahkistan. These families speak Russian at home, and so the mothers, who have limited contact with the outside world, speak very little English at all. Mom spent time with them, teaching them English. On several occasions, we attended their Russian church services, and they have attended Beavertown several times also. They are neighbors to our pastor, James Plank, and his family.

Yesterday, Gary, one of their little boys, was riding his bike, and was hit by a vehicle. He passed away, and the funeral will be Friday. Please pray for his family. Gary was ten years old, and has eight brothers and sisters. If you think of it, please take the time to say a prayer for comfort and strength for the Ivankin family.

I love God, cherish my husband, adore my family, and am loyal to my country. I graduated from college and in the next year, two of my dreams came true. I got married, and I began to teach at a Christian school. Now, we are in the process of adding to our family through adoption.
